You can't use PHP in Templates. Point.

umm, yeah, i was having this problem! but, ill show you how 2 fix it ^^

PHP Code:

ob_start(); 


all of your script, that you want to appear,

only do it for your suctom part, the stuff at the top, it alwasy works ^^

PHP Code:

$name_your_template_code = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 


now, go to oyur template and where you want the code to appear, type: $name_your_template_code

if you get stuck, lme know...

k
can u explain this please
where do i add the PHP code in the code tht u gave me
lets say thts my php code

<?php
echo 'blah blah blah'
print ' test'
$name= 'test'
$name2 = 'test1'
echo $name . $name2
echo 'more php stuff
?>

How would i do that ?

and where do i add the code tht u provide me?

do i still use tht tutorial for custom page?

(yes, you need 2 do teh custom template)

ok, np...

PHP Code:

<?php
//all the template stuff for vbulletin, it is required
//put  ob_start(); around your custom code only
ob_start();
echo 'blah blah blah'
print ' test'
$name= 'test'
$name2 = 'test1'
echo $name . $name2
echo 'more php stuff
$randomname = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean()
?>

ok, now, if you have done your template, all you have to add is add

PHP Code:

$randomname 


hope this works ^^

No. The php code goes in the php file. It must be placed before this line:

PHP Code:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('test_mytesttemplate1') . '");'); 


In this case the only thing that gets added into the template is $randomname. Place it wherever you want the php code to go.
